Abstract:
Lipases belong to the class hydrolases, and act as biocatalysts. Producer organisms are plant, animals (particularly mammals) and microbes (preferred over other potential sources). Lipase is a high value compound due to high productivity rate. Thus, exhibit wide range of applications in different industries such as food (dairy, fat, and oil, beverages, bakery), detergent, paper and pulp, biodiesel production, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. In addition, these are used in bioremediation of different effluents. Lipases are unique in the sense. Two techniques were highly used for production of microbial lipases e.g., solid-state, and submerged fermentation. But solid-state fermentation is preferred over submerged fermentation due to high productivity. Enzyme immobilization has been discussed briefly. Purification depends upon the nature of lipase and done by ammonium sulphate precipitation, ultrafiltration, and extraction by solvents like acetone and ethanol. This review focuses on the information which has been round up over the last two decades on sources of lipase, production, immobilization, unique purification techniques as well as the wide spectrum of industrial applications. .
